1964 MERCURY COMET 2 DOOR SEDAN. Its an automatic straight 6. All chrome in good condition. There is no rust or bondo. When i purchased the vehicle definitely needed some TLC. It drove but right away needed the steering box replaced. I had to have it towed the 2 hours from Orlando to my home. Except for the last 2 years, this car has always resided in, been titled in Orlando, Florida, and from what I have been told, garaged. The floorboard was rusted out in the driver side. The floor board has been completely replaced (brand new welded in). The interior is all new : custom ordered vinyl seat covers with new cushion, new carpet, new door panels (front and back), new arm rests for the front, the back arm rests are the original ones with the ash trays built in. Even the steering wheel was repair. It had cracks....had to be sanded, filled, sanded again, and repainted. All the plastic pieces in the interior of the car were repaired and painted chrome. I think the interior (door panels, dash and such) used to be grayish blue maybe. Oh, there were not two side mirrors on the door. I installed the passenger side one. Also all the metal work/black was sanded down and repainted. The front lap belts are original but the back seat belts were installed and welded into the trunk for safety...(did this specifically for my children's safety). All windows go up and down, all glass in perfect condition. blinkers, windshield wipers all work. Weatherstripping has been replaced around all the windows, except the vent windows (triangles window in front doors). Under the hood is mainly originally. When I purchased, the steering box had to be replaced. All hoses and gaskets were also replaced when purchased. Brake pads, light bulbs, spark plugs, all liquids, and filters replaced as well. A coca-cola bottle installed as the radiator overflow. Custom paint job on air filter and under the hood. Fine details done (dog dishes, back area near trunk bumper/gas tank, and parts of front grill) all repainted. Look at the tiny black squares on the chrome and you will see what i mean. Truck weather seal also replaced. Brand new white wall tires also purchased.
So whats wrong: headliner needs to be installed. I do have 2 headliners that are antique white. 1 for the headliner and one for extra for visors. I never did it because to really do it right you need to remove the front and back windshield, and I don't have the confidence to do it myself....i'm such a klutz i would probably break the glass in the process. there are a couple of tiny pin holes in the wheel wells of the trunk (very tiny). The car needs a paint job. the window seal/weather stripping in the triangle windows will need to be replaced. Oh, and the radio does not work...its just for show. to be honest i never did connect it, so it may work. Visors are in the truck, but will need to be recovered and screwed into roof.
Overall its a great car. Its simple under the hood, but built the way an old car is suppose to. You look under the hood and have the engine, radiator, and transmission...beauty in the simplicity of it. It drives well, and even though its not finished, it always impresses at car shows. I can always explain more on the phone if interested. I also have more pics if needed.
I thought I would keep this car forever!!! Literally. It's rare to have a woman (let alone a woman in her thirties) own a classic car. I figured my daughter, who is now 12, would get it as her first car once she turns 16. It drives so smooth, especially over speed bumps. Well, now my good mechanic friend who is responsible for helping me rebuild the car is no longer in my life. My boyfriend and I (and our combined) four kids are getting ready to move in together. We could keep if, if I begged long enough, but the reality is we really could use the money for other things. I used to go to car shows all the time, every other weekend, but for the last year I've been with my boyfriend, I just don't go anymore. I hate to sell this car, but want it to go to a good home. I’m just trying to get (financially) what I put into it. Car is being sold as it. Clean title in hand. No warranty or guarantee with vehicle. This is a 50 year old classic car….expect to have issues down the road…but the good news is, the are simple to fix (no new technology that costs a bundle). All sales are final. Buyer is responsible for (coordinating) pick up and delivery of vehicle. I will except a cashier’s check, cash, or wire transfer. Those interested are more than welcomed to come see and drive in person before purchasing. Car is also being sold locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early. If you have any questions or would like to set up a showing please call or text 772-209-1268. (or you can email me through ebay). I also have videos of me driving, working on the car, videos of under the hood, bodyline, and more. Please contact me and I will email them to you . .. I'm still trying to figure out how to upload them onto youtube. : ) |

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS
Sat, Jan 21 2023Ford's now-defunct Mercury Division first began using the Marquis name in 1967, on a sporty full-size hardtop based on the Ford LTD, then began offering the Grand Marquis beginning in the 1979 model year. These big, boxy luxury sedans were replaced by big, curvy luxury sedans (on the same platform) starting with the 1992 model year, so today's Junkyard Gem is one of the very last squared-off Grand Marquises ever built. The 1991 Grand Marquis (or "Grandma Keith," as many refer to it today) looks nearly identical to its 1979 predecessor at a glance, just as the 2011 model doesn't differ much from the 1992 model. Ford saw no reason to follow short-lived fashion trends with its simple, sturdy rear-wheel-drive sedan. Only two Grand Marquis trim levels were available for 1991: the base GS and the (somewhat) upscale LS. The former listed at $18,741 and the latter at $19,241, which comes to about $41,494 and $42,601, respectively, in inflated 2022 dollars). This interior would have seemed comfortingly familiar to a 1968 (or even 1958) Mercury owner time-traveling to 1991. This is the optional "full grain leather seating surface," which cost an extra $489 (about $1,083 today). Dig those opera lights! Air conditioning was standard equipment in the 1991 Grand Marquis and its wagon counterpart, the Colony Park. The engine is the good old pushrod 5.0-liter Windsor V8, which would be replaced by a far more modern 4.6-liter SOHC mill in the '92 Grand Marquis. This engine was rated at 180 horsepower. A four-speed automatic was the only transmission available. The early 1990s ended up being the last gasp for padded vinyl roofs being considered mainstream equipment on new Detroit cars; this one was called the "Formal Coach" roof and cost an additional 725 bucks ($1,605 now). Such roofs were still available on a few cars later in the decade, but their time had passed. Why would such a clean Grandma Keith end up in a place like this? That's easy: it got T-boned directly into the right front wheel, mangling the body and bending up the suspension. This damage might have been worth fixing when the car was five years old, but it's a write-off when it happens to a 31-year-old Ford Panther. 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis Commercial - Savings Ad The granddaddy of them all, and on sale in South Texas!

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
Is this '47 Chevrolet a rat rod or a sports car?
Sun, May 22 2016These days there are plenty of vehicles that blur the conventional automotive class structures. For instance, was the Honda Crosstour a wagon or an SUV? And what exactly was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? Regardless, those line-blurring cars (or trucks) are out there, and though this one didn't roll off a production line, it's still quite the automotive head-scratcher. Hailing from Missouri, this epic creation is one part mad science experiment, one part 1947 Chevrolet pickup, and one part '95 Mercury Cougar. Add it all up and you get an awesome truck-sports-car hybrid, complete with an outrageous wing and a V8 to boot. And interestingly enough, it's up for sale . RELATED: Check out this Wild-Styled Lamborghini Rat Rod So how does it all come together? According to the listing, the Chevrolet truck cab (which had previously been chopped) was sanded down to bare metal and given a thorough shellacking of clear coat. It was then melded together with the front end of a 1995 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, and set low to the ground on Bilstein suspension drop spindles. Stance achieved. But instead of fielding an engine from either of those pickups, it pulls its heart from a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV—a big 5.3-liter V8 heart, that is. It comes backed-up to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Towards the rear however is where things get really interesting. A Copper Pearl coated tube frame chassis both attaches the rear independent suspension (a la Mercury Cougar) to the racy spoiler, as well as secures the rat rod's rear-mounted radiator, fan, and fuel tank. I'm not quite sure why, but it just looks glorious. RELATED: Reports Say Mid-Engine Corvette Will Arrive in 2018 Inside the vintage cab, the Chevrolet furthers its racing proclivities (it's said to have won burnout and auto-cross events) with a pair of harnessed racing seats, a drift brake, a detachable steering wheel, and a tachometer with oil and temperature gauges, but oddly no speedometer. The shifter is a crescent wrench. And its shift boot? That's a Crown Royal Purple bag. All in all, this grin-worthy Frankenstein creation tallies up bits and pieces from four different vehicles (five if you include the Camaro wheels), which make it truly a mash-up of epic proportions.
